Did you already tried the normal cleaning operations?
Clean temporary files, disable system restore, schedule a boot time scanning of avast, scans with antispywares?

The file location quoted is used by Ad-Aware when temporarily unpacking archive files. The filenames themselves look like Java malware: remove by deleting the cache as described in the link below.
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/cache_virus.xml
Java exploits may arrive in the Java cache when visiting a site which pushes malware.
Anti-virus programs detect such malicious applets (Java exploits) in the following directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\javapi\v1. 0\jar\
These malicious applets are designed to exploit vulnerabilities in the Microsoft VM (Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-011), or in older versions of Sun Java.
If you are using the latest version of Sun JVM as your default virtual machine, these malicious applets cannot cause any harm to your computer.
Older versions of Sun Java are vulnerable to exploits so it's vital to update to the latest version AND TO UNINSTALL OLDER VERSIONS.
